Is this in the e2fsprogs blkid code yet? I'm guessing not, since you
right, not yet. I don't know what the long-term plan is for e2fsprogs
blkid; keeping 2 trees in sync seems like a lot of work w/o much gain...
I thought that was Ted's plan? We usually recommend people to update to
the latest e2fsprogs, yet not everyone will be able to upgrade to the
latest util-linux, especially if it is pulling in other libraries that
can cause package conflicts (e.g. with xfstools or similar).
It doesn't much matter to me personally since my distro ;) seems pretty
well committed to using the blkid & libuuid now in util-linux-ng.
I guess I'm not thinking too much about a world where people are pulling
down tarballs & doing make install; I'm sure that still goes on but
those folks are smart enough to handle things moving around, or should be.
*shrug*
As long as we can teach the e2fsprogs build to optionally pull libblkid
& libuuid headers from the system rather than the e2fsprogs tree, it'll
give the flexibility we need.
